Got up fairly early and went in to town to do a
bit of shopping. There is only one
tiny shop which sells everything at fairly high prices, but we think we ought
to have the basics on board in case we can’t get into ports with any
facilities. In town see our
neighbour with the Oyster and find we might meet him again as he too is
wintering in Ragusa.
As usual there is no wind, so we are motoring
again. We stopped for lunch just
south of a harbour that was ruined some years ago when its outer breakwater was
smashed in a storm and has not been rebuilt. We had a nice break for lunch, but had no swim because
it was cloudy and rather cool.
For the night we make it to Cetraro. This is a rather large marina, well
appointed and we are directed to a berth without trouble. We register and pay and find that the
fees are well down now that we are in Calabria. We ask about a supermarket. Again, we are not sure where we will be in the next few days
and we need provisions on board.
We are told that there is one 600 meters away, which sounds OK. We set out on foot and find that it is
much further away than they said.
We estimate about one mile.
Also it is a Lidl, which I really dislike. They have very limited lines, but we do manage to get most
of what we need to keep us going for a few days. Then we have to lug the shopping all the way back to the
boat.
On the plus side the marina has free WIFI and
excellent showers. So we now feel
clean and in touch with the world.
We eat dinner on board and decide to try to have an early night because
the next port is 50 miles away and we should have an early start.
